Deck Sanding
surface preparation of sound accessible ordinary timber deck boards
Lynbrook property context
For Lynbrook enquiries, describe the available workspace as well as the requested deck sanding. Review board condition, remaining thickness and coating suitability before agreeing a sanding method and the next finish. Include the best access contact and explain any restrictions affecting the work area. For a Lynbrook quote, describe each task separately and note height, parking, tenant access or preferred appointment windows. This gives the Owner enough context to assess the request without collecting unnecessary personal information.
Common situations
The final preparation should suit the selected oil or compatible coating. Decide that finish before the sanding scope is confirmed. Sanding, oiling and deck painting are separate tasks; list the required stages so exposed prepared timber has an agreed follow-on plan.
The abrasive sequence depends on the accepted timber, existing finish and intended next product. A single aggressive pass is not a universal solution. The quote should identify the preparation goal rather than promise removal of every deep mark at any cost to the boards.
If the coating history or material condition raises a hazardous-material concern, ordinary sanding should not proceed on an assumption. Share existing product records where available. Specialist testing or removal is outside the scope and must not be replaced by a disclaimer after disturbance.
Planning the work
Prepare and sand accepted sound boards with appropriate abrasive stages and dust control, within the agreed accessible area. Identify any additional items separately so the scope and preparation are understood by everyone arranging the work.
Unexpected conditions can alter the available options. Any additional work, different components or separate specialist requirement should be discussed before extending the agreed task, rather than treated as automatically included.
Review board condition, remaining thickness and coating suitability before agreeing a sanding method and the next finish. Any unresolved requirement should be explained before committing to a visit or buying additional materials.
Show the whole deck, existing finish, board edges and fixings, with dimensions and any available coating history. Keep labels and instructions available so the item can be identified accurately instead of relying on a general description.

Confirm the Lynbrook address, access contact and preparation. Mention anything that limits safe handling or use of the space before scheduling.
Protect prepared timber and arrange the compatible next finish. Sanding alone is not a completed weather-protection treatment.
Service overview
Discuss nearby doors, plants and occupied spaces before sanding. Appropriate containment and collection depend on the site and accepted material. This ordinary preparation service does not include hazardous dust remediation or work on a coating whose safety has not been established.
Sanding removes timber as well as surface material. Heavily worn, thin or damaged boards may not be suitable. The task concerns sound boards, and surface preparation must not be used to conceal rot or substitute for a separate deck repair assessment.
Show screws or nails sitting above the surface. Suitable ordinary fixing preparation may be needed before sanding can proceed. Damaged or unsupported boards need review, and simply driving fixings deeper should not be assumed to resolve deterioration beneath the deck surface.
Prepare and sand accepted sound boards with appropriate abrasive stages and dust control, within the agreed accessible area. Scope limits: Sound ordinary accessible boards only. No structural restoration, rot concealment, hazardous coating removal, asbestos or specialist dust remediation.
FAQ

Identify the quantities and any deadline so Fix Nik can review the scope and clarify the next practical step.
Sound ordinary accessible boards only. No structural restoration, rot concealment, hazardous coating removal, asbestos or specialist dust remediation. Describe any additional requirement separately. Suitability is reviewed before work is accepted, and a specialist requirement must not be treated as a routine extension of the quoted handyman task.
Review board condition, remaining thickness and coating suitability before agreeing a sanding method and the next finish. Share the exact product specification before purchasing. Appearance alone does not establish suitability. Missing materials or unsuitable supplied products can change the plan or require another visit.
Review board condition, remaining thickness and coating suitability before agreeing a sanding method and the next finish. Provide any available product information, previous repair history or material details. A photograph supports an initial discussion but cannot confirm hidden condition, internal components or every fixing requirement.
Show the whole deck, existing finish, board edges and fixings, with dimensions and any available coating history. Explain which spaces need to remain usable and who can arrange access. The appointment and preparation are agreed around the actual work; an occupied room should not be assumed to be clear or ready.
Identify the previous coating where possible and show peeling, glossy or stained areas. Different finishes affect the preparation method. Unknown or suspect hazardous coatings are excluded; a sanding enquiry does not authorise stripping every old surface regardless of its composition.
Prepare and sand accepted sound boards with appropriate abrasive stages and dust control, within the agreed accessible area. Timing depends on the actual condition, access, quantities and required stages. Any parts or drying requirements are considered when scheduling; a fixed completion time cannot be promised from the service name alone.
